Washing Embellished Clothes

From Lucky Magazine, december 2007:

Designer Rebecca Taylor loves beaded and sequined pieces (as any fan of her flirty, feminine line can attest) but loathes excessive trips to the dry cleaners - so she devised this technique.
  • You'll need: A cotton pillowcase. "Choose one in a neutral color, or that's similarly colored to the garment you're cleaning," Taylor says.
  • How it's done: Make sure the piece is machine-washable, and then "flip it inside out, throw it in the pillowcase, and knot the case closed - tie it as close to the item as possible," she says. "Set the machine to delicate, use gentle detergent, and afterward lay it flat to dry."
